Answer: 0.1 km
Explanation:
1) Multiply the rate (speed) by the time: 2 cm / year × 5,000 year = 10,000 cm
2) Convert cm to km, using these well know conversion factors:
1 km = 1,000 m
1 m = 100 cm
⇒ 10,000 cm × [1 m / 100 cm] × [1 km / 1,000 m] = 0.1 km
A) mixture because they are not chemically combined
Answer:
Erosion occurs through deflation, and sand that was picked up is deposited against an obstruction.
Explanation:
Erosion can be defined as a geological process which involves the wearing away of earth material and transportation of these material to another location by Natural agents such as wind and water. Erosion involves removal of top soil, rocks and other earth particles by action of wind, glacier and water.
Wind causes erosion by deflation. Deflation is the actual removal of grain of rocks . Generally, it s the lowering of land surface that happens as a result of removal of surface particles(sands grains) by wind. Deflation is usually prevalent in arid areas. This sand can later be picked up and deposited to form sand dunes . Sand dunes are mounds of sand formed by wind . This sands are sheltered by an obstacle. And sand dunes are prevalent in desert and or along the beach. The sand dune grows as sand accumulate.
1) during daylight, especially around noon, the relatively high air **temperature** and low humidity caused high evaporation, extracting pore water from the beach and leaving the **salt** behind, thereby resulting in high salinity near the beach surface (intertidal zone)
2) • algae and other intertidal plants grow in the abundant sunlight and support an entire food chain of animals
• constant wave action supplies the tide pool with **nutrients** and oxygen
• food is abundant
• a varied substrate provides hiding places and surfaces to cling to
3) the intertidal zone is one of a number of **marine** biomes or habitats, including: estuary (spray zone), neritic (lower/shallow zone), surface (middle zone), deep zones (high zones)
